Visual inference of arm movement is constrained by motor representations by Saunier, Ghislain, Paillard, Aurore, Vargas, Claudia D., Pozzo, Thierry

Impact of delay on the formation of high-order interactions and structural imbalance by Siboni, M. H. Hakimi, Jafari, Reza

US Disposable Personal Income and Housing Price Index: a Fractional Integration Analysis by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

“…This paper examines the relationship between US disposable personal income (DPI) and house price index (HPI) during the last twenty years applying fractional integration and long-range dependence techniques to monthly data from January 1991 to July 2010. The empirical findings indicate that the stochastic properties of the two series are such that cointegration cannot hold between them, as mean reversion occurs in the case of DPI but not of HPI. …”
